We're at our wits' end with Mahindra Team's lack of follow-up. Our van has been out of commission for two months due to non-availability of parts,and its only getting worse. We've scoured every spare part shop in Noida, Delhi,and Gurgoan and even placed an order with Mahindra

Our vans are used for animal welfare projects, and we're now hiring a van daily, costing us Rs. 1000 a day. It's been a frustrating experience with Mahindra's lack of urgency, and we're disappointed that their dealership is not pushing to get this fixed

We're now wondering if opting for Mahindra Vans was the worst decision. Our van is depreciating and rusting in the local workshop. We hope that Mahindra will step up and address this issue soon

1⃣ Does this prove that SARS-CoV-2 came from racoon dogs?
Not definitively. Co-occurance of sequences could be from chance contamination in theory. Also, even if racoon dogs were indeed infected, they might just have been amplifiers at market, not the original source.

Let me start with #insulin. In the 1970s, insulin was extracted from the pancreas of animals. In the 1980s, @Genentech, working with Eli Lilly (@LillyPad), developed insulin using a new technology that I call #PrecisionFermentation. It wasn’t animal insulin. It was human insulin.
The mainstream would say: “health care is slow, it can’t be disrupted.”
Well, here’s the S-curve of #PrecisionFermentation human insulin. Human insulin disrupted animal insulin in about 13 years.

Our mission at @Sentient_Media is to tell animal stories and hold mainstream outlets accountable for misrepresenting #animal issues.

Although there is legal and scientific disagreement about #sentience, there are some standards that are broadly accepted.
According to @SentienceInst, sentience is simply the ability to have positive and negative experiences, including pain. 2/14

Tuk-tuk gave a good chase but finally our senior staff driver managed to catch him. Tuk-tuk is under our care since May 2021. Sr Vet has advised medication to be dusted every day else his little wet wound will resurface again which can lead to a bad open wound. #Dog #treatment

De madrugada sufrí uno de los episodios más dolorosos y tristes. Llevé a mi perro a un hospital veterinario de urgencias.(hospital Veterinario La Salle)

He tardado un día en escribir este hilo porque no tenía fuerzas, a las 3 de la madrugada mi perro empezó a tener mucha calor. Le di en la nuca con un paño húmedo y un poco de agua, poco a poco fue a más, empezó a vomitar y cago diarrea. Y llamé a un taxi preocupado
Abajo esperándolo, empezó a costarle respirar y se estiraba para coger aire, vomitó balsa. Me monté en el taxi, fuí a la clínica que había de urgencias, la cual fui cliente durante años. Por la muerte de mi padre y no tener vehículo deje de ir, para ir a una más cercana.
